Abstract
|
|

This case report presents a thrombus traversing a patent foramen ovale- impending paradoxical embolism, in 85 years old woman. It was tentatively diagnosed as atrial myxoma but after a month of anticoagulation therapy, completely resolved. So we can make diagnosis of impending paradoxical embolism retrospectively.
